“Okay, kind of. But I did hear all the important,” she confessed.
Daniel raised one eyebrow over the other.
“Really? Like what?” he asked. Erica opened her mouth to answer but she had absolutely nothing to say. She looked at him and smiled. “Just as I thought,” Daniel said.
She looked at him and leaned forward.
“I’m sorry baby. I’m just really excited. That’s all,” she said before she leaned in and kissed his lips softly. She pulled away and looked into his eyes.
“I don’t know, Hayes. That kind of feels like a bribe,” he said. A sly smile played on Erica’s lips.
“It kind of is,” she said. “But only if it’s working.” She was looking into his eyes as he smiled back at her.
“Fine. What are you so excited about?” he asked. They were seated in the suite balcony looking down at the sea below on a lovely warm evening. She looked at him and brushed off a curl.
“My blog is now among the top twenty blogs and I have already been contacted by a few guys about advertising. Affiliate stuff,” she said.
Daniel looked at her and smiled.
“I am so proud of you,” he said before he leaned in and kissed her. “Now, maybe we can take this,” he started as he took her iPad from her and put it next to him. “And concentrate on more important things.”
She was smiling as she looked at him. It was more of a shy blushing smile than a genuine one.
“Like what?” she asked in a low voice. Daniel pulled the string on her kaftan top undoing the knot that had concealed her breasts. She looked at his fingers as they slowly tugged on the strings before she looked up into his eyes. It was then that she realized it had almost been an entire week since their visit to the clinic and to date, they had not had sex. The cramps had lasted a little longer than she hoped and Daniel had been more than a little accommodating. She looked into his eyes and her smile slowly faded off.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
“I’m okay,” she said in a whisper. He held her face in his hands and looked into her eyes. She could see that his look had softened.
“Don’t lie to me, baby. I can wait longer if I have to,” he said.
She shook her head.
“I’m fine. I am one hundred per cent ready for you,” she said in a soft voice. He looked at her and his hands dropped lower on her torso and rested them on her lap. He then took her small hands in his and lifted them to his lips before he got up and pulled her to her feet. Her heart was beating hard as they walked back into the suite. It was like she was about to see him naked for the very first time. Daniel walked them to the bed and then looked at her. “The iPad,” Erica said in a low voice.
“I don’t want to talk about the iPad right now,” he said in a low tone as he slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. She raised her hands above her head and he pulled the kaftan top off leaving her in a bra and a pair of shorts. His eyes traveled down from her face to her waist. She put her hands on his chest and slowly began undoing the buttons on his shirt. He looked into her eyes as she slipped his linen shirt off his shoulders. For some reason, Erica’s fingers were trembling as she caressed his chest. She could smell the familiar cologne that drove her ever so wild. She couldn’t wait to take him, all of him. He looked at her and caressed her chin. It was a slow, perfect caress that made every muscle in her body clench. She could feel his eyes piercing into hers, so deep that she was blushing. It made her want to close her eyes but the look he was giving her was hypnotizing. He leaned in and claimed her lips with his own. The kiss was slow but firm, perfect even. He pulled away and looked down at her perfect brown skin.
“What have you done to me, Erica,” he moaned as he pressed his lips into her shoulder.
She brought a hand up and held his neck. She could feel his warm breath on her skin. He turned his head and kissed her again. His kiss was more demanding this time. One hand was in her hair and his arm around her waist, holding her tightly against his body. She gasped when she felt his hand slide down to grab a feel of her ass. He held her against his hips, his erection pressing hard into her. She moaned and felt a tingle run down her spine. In the short time they had been together, Daniel had come to know of all her triggers. She moaned into his mouth as she brought up her other hand and gripped his shoulders. He got down on his knees and pressed his lips to her tummy before he undid the button and pulled down the zipper. He pulled the shorts down revealing the black lacy panties she wore.
She moaned softly when he began kissing her thighs, working his way up to her waist line. But as soon as he got up there, he would go back down and kiss her thigh again. He brought his head to her core and inhaled her sweet scent.
“You smell so good, baby,” he said in a whisper. He got back up and slowly eased her to the bed. She was looking into his eyes as he backed her against the bed. When she felt the bed against the back of her knees, she gasped as he spun her around holding her against him. He had one hand firmly secured on her tummy as he ran his tongue up one side of her neck. She bit her lower lip to keep herself sane. The way he was running his tongue on every sensitive spot was driving her wild. She had half a mind to just turn around and throw him down on the bed before she rode him to fruition. She had never wanted anyone the she wanted Daniel at that moment. She moaned softly as he ran one hand up her back and undid the clasp on her bra before he turned her around and slowly pulled the bra off. She heard him exhale loudly when he saw her breasts. He was still looking at her when he slowly pushed her on the bed.
Erica gasped when she fell back on the mattress. Daniel was kissing her, working his way up to her breasts but she never did feel his mouth on either breast. He would just pull back almost immediately as he got close. It was too much for her. She raised herself up and supported her weight on her elbows as she watched what he was doing. Her breathing was labored as he went on kissing, caressing and loving on her. When he finally pulled down her panties, she was impossibly wet. He looked down at her and grabbed each ankle to pull her lower on the huge bed. The way he jerked her legs apart made her realize that the time for all his soft lovemaking was over. His want had overpowered his will and he was about to take her…or so she thought.
“Don’t move,” he muttered as he crawled on the bed. She closed her eyes and moaned when he began trailing his kisses down one thigh and then down the other. She shook under his spell. Keeping still was going to be almost impossible, especially given the way he was teasing her. She squirmed when he finally put his lips on her lower lips making her shudder. He pulled away and looked up at her. “I said don’t move,” he said. His tine was more authoritative now, more like a command. He held her legs open and held one of her labia in between his lips. It was the most exhilarating feeling, having so much power yet feeling so utterly powerless at the same time. It took everything she had not to jerk when he pushed his tongue deep inside her. She looked at him as he held her legs captive, dipping his tongue into her every so often. But when he palmed her clit, she threw her head back. That was her undoing. She could feel herself getting dangerously close to the edge. She moaned and gasped as he licked her and sucked her, rubbing her clit when he deemed it necessary.
“Fuck, Daniel. I want you so much,” she moaned as he went on rubbing her. He pulled away from her and sunk two long fingers into her. She gasped loudly and held on to the bedding as he fingered her harder and harder still. She moaned and groaned, trying hard to control herself from exploding. His command of keeping still was long forgotten now. He then pulled away from her and looked at her as he took off his pants, letting his erection free. He reached for something on the nightstand but then it hit him, he didn’t need a condom. He hovered over her and kissed her deeply before he positioned himself at her opening. She was breathing hard as he began working himself into her. She could tell from the look in his eyes that he was worried about her. She raised her knees giving him access to more of her but he was still holding back. She slipped
a leg around his waist and pulled him into her as far as he could.
“Erica!” he cried out as he involuntarily got in balls deep into her. She held his face in her hands and smiled.
“I’m okay,” she said in a whisper. “I’m okay,” she said again as he buried his face in her shoulder. He was rigid inside her. He raised his head and looked down at her.
“I’m going to move in you now,” he said in a low voice. She held him tightly and gave him the formal go ahead as he began moving in and out of her. She bit her lower lip as she felt him tearing through her over and over. His breathing was harsh as he went on pushing himself into her over and over again until she could no longer hold back on him. She was moaning and groaning as he slammed against her. She was unknowingly holding onto him a little tighter. She was so full, he had filled each and every fold. She was feeling his full weight on her as he went on and on. Their damp bodies were crushing against each other as she felt his thrusts getting harder and more intense until she could no longer hold back. She felt herself stiffen as he thrust harder and deeper into her.
“Cum for me, baby,” he moaned as he went on thrusting into her. His words were her undoing. She moaned out loud and he felt a new kind of warmth engulf him. She held him as she shivered under him and he also unraveled inside her. He loved the feeling of his naked cock being engulfed by her juices. She moaned as he collapsed on her. He raised his head and looked down at her as she felt him slipping out of her. She felt hot fluid inside her pussy flowing out and she gasped. He got off her and looked at her.
“You…you were amazing,” she mumbled.
“I was scared I had hurt you,” he said as he looked at her. She looked at him and shook her head.
“I don’t think you would ever hurt me if you tried,” she said with a smile. He moved closer to her and held her close. She snuggled in and once again, the thought of how all this was going to end crossed her mind.
Chapter 12
The loud buzzing of Daniel’s phone against the surface of the nightstand is what woke him up. He rolled over careful not to wake Erica up. He looked at his phone and almost gasped loudly when he read the text that woke him up.
Hey bro. I know you are in Belize having a good time but I also feel like I need some time away from everything so I got on a plane and I am headed your way. By the time you read this, I will be almost landing. Maybe you would like to come for me? Love, Mel.
“This is not happening,” he thought as he looked at a sleeping Erica. Truth be told, he loved his sister but she was a handful. She was at the age where everything to her was just easy. All she wanted was to have fun. A smile played on his lips when he remembered the way his sister would get herself in trouble almost every single day. It was like she had an art of getting herself into trouble. And even after she had established a career for herself as an advertising agent, she hadn’t calmed down. He was not sure whether she would hit it off with Erica. He looked at his watch; it was almost eight in the morning. He shook his head and wondered what time she was getting there. He noticed there was another message on his phone.
I am coming in on Virgin Atlantic Flight 220.
He quickly checked out what time the flight was supposed to be getting in and sighed when he saw that Melanie’s flight would be touching down in exactly forty five minutes. He rushed to the bathroom and freshened up and pulled on an ECKO t-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans. He leaned over and kissed Erica’s cheek before he walked out of the suite.
He hailed a cab when he got outside and rode to the airport wondering what would push Melanie to take an impromptu holiday like this. He looked at his phone and dialed his mother.
“Hey mom,” he said when his mother picked up. “Sorry to call so late,” he added guiltily.
“I actually can’t sleep. I’ve been up for most of the night watching reruns of my show,” she said.
“Anything wrong?” he asked.
“Not really. I just couldn’t sleep, that’s all,” she said. “So is it my birthday or something because you rarely ever call,” Mrs. Eleanor Reese said. Daniel smiled.
“Mom, come on. It’s just this month that I have been a little…dormant,” he said.
“Well, that is one month too long, Danny, and you know it,” Eleanor said. “So, how is everything in…where are you anyway?”
“Belize,” he said.
“Belize? When did you leave Caracas?” Eleanor asked.
“How did you even know about Caracas?” he asked surprised.
“Well, the trip had to do with the company. Of course I had to know about it.”
“But did you actually expect me to stay there? I mean, there was only so much to do and Caracas wasn’t even in my plan.”
He heard his mother laugh.
“Maybe if you had stayed there a bit longer you could have met a nice girl and…” she started but he laughed, cutting her short. He wanted to tell her, so much.
“Let’s just say that I am hoping this long vacation might be fruitful to that effect.”
“What is that supposed to mean, Daniel? Is there some good news that you maybe want to share with me? Have you met someone?”
He smiled.
“Well, if I had, don’t you think I would tell you about it?” he said even though he knew that it was a blatant lie. “I have to ask though, did anything happen at Melanie’s job or something?”
“Why?” Eleanor asked.
“Because she just told me she is on her way here.”
“On her way where? To Belize?” Eleanor asked obviously surprised.
“So you didn’t know?”
“Absolutely not. She has been a little withdrawn lately. When I asked her she said something about this new company that is supposed to launch soon. Or did the launch already happen…I’m not very sure,” she said. “But for her to just up and leave without a word? That is very much unlike her even for someone as unpredictable as she is.”
He rubbed his temple.
“Well, I am on my way to the airport right now. Her plane touches down in a few minutes,” he said.
“Well, that’s Melanie for you,” Eleanor laughed.
“I’ve got to go. I am almost at the airport.”
“Well, tell her to call me,” Eleanor said.
“Don’t worry. I’m sure whatever it is, it’s no big deal,” he said. The cab was now pulling into a parking spot.
“And she is going to be there with you. I’m not worried,” Eleanor said.
“Bye mom,” Daniel said smiling contentedly.
“I love you,” Eleanor said.
“Love you too.” Daniel hung up. “Would you wait for a few minutes? You can keep the meter running if you have to,” he said. The cab driver smiled and nodded. Daniel stepped out of the cab and walked to the arrivals terminal. He looked at his watch and sighed. Melanie’s plane had already touched down. He looked at the crowd walking out of the terminal for any sign of his sister. He had been standing there for almost ten minutes when he saw Melanie. She was in a pair of high heeled boots that made him wonder how the hell she had survived a ten hour flight.
“Daniel, hey!” Melanie cried excitedly when she saw her brother. Daniel made his way through the crowd and gave her a long hug. “You look…really good. Belize must agree with you…or wherever it is that you have been,” she said with a smile.
“Why do I have a feeling that you have been tracking my every move?” he asked.
“I wouldn’t be a good sister if I didn’t,” she said with a smile. He looked at her bags and raised an eyebrow over the other. She only had two bags, very unlike her.
“You are packed awfully light,” he said. She shrugged.
“I’m just here for a few days. Clearing my head and everything,” she shrugged. He looked at her, his gaze dropped to her shoes.
“And you thought that a pair of six inch boots were the best footwear for a ten hour flight?” he asked. She looked at her shoes.
“Correction, the heels are
only four inches long,” she said.
“It’s a difference of two freaking inches. There is no way those were comfortable,” he said.
She laughed.
“Two things. One, comfort never got you anywhere and two, a couple of inches can make a very big difference. I mean a man who has…” she never got a chance to finish what she was saying. Daniel had already grabbed her luggage trolley and was headed in the opposite direction. There was no way he was staying there to hear his sister compare the length of various penises. “Hey! I’m not done yet,” she said looking at him. She ran after Daniel but he was walking too fast. “Are you ever going to let me make my point?” she asked as she looked at her brother who was now busy loading the bags into the cab’s trunk. She looked at him as he turned to look at her.
“After years of living with you, I know exactly what you are about to say and honestly I don’t want to hear my little sister talking about dicks,” he said as he held the door open for hers. She climbed in smiling. He looked at her and shook his head. “So, what is going on with you?” he asked.
“Oh come on, I haven’t even been here that long,” she said.
He looked at her and smiled. “I am just concerned, Mel. That’s all.”
Melanie sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
“I just needed some time off…everything,” she said.
“You live such a carefree life. What could you possibly want to get away from?” he questioned. She looked at him and smiled.
“What, just because you run the family business and I don’t makes you think that you have a better reason to take off than I do?” she asked.
Daniel looked at her. “Come on, that is not what I mean and you know it.”
“It was a joke, big brother. Relax,” she laughed. Daniel shook his head. “It was just work. I needed to get away and just figure something out.”
“What’s going on down at the advertising firm?” he asked.
She ran her fingers through her hair again.
“My lawyer is playing tricks with me…actually, the word is, backstab. He just got me into three more years at the company,” she said.
